Abstract: The said industrial design consists of the shape, configuration and ornamentation of a chair having a seat, arm rests, a back rest, a castor base and a head rest, the novel and distinctive features of which are a castor base having a Y-shaped portion having a smooth upper surface that curves outwards and downwards away from a central conical raised area on the upper surface thereof; the arm sections of the Y-shaped portion are generally of equal length and have sides which taper inwardly along their length; a pair of symmetrical further arm sections extend outwards from the central area of Y-shaped portion and have smooth upper surfaces that generally follow the contour of and are positioned slightly below the upper surface of the Y-shaped portion; each of the arm sections has a slightly raised generally rectangular area in the upper surface thereof at the outer end of the arm section; the seat has a base portion with rounded corners and a slightly raised area that is spaced inwards of the outer edges of the base portion and generally follows the shape and outline of the base portion; the raised area has small curved recesses along its side edges and at its rear corners; the seat has a slightly downwards and forwards curved front area and a central recessed section with curved corners along its front edge; each arm rest has a base portion with a raised area that is spaced inwards of the outer edges of the base portion and generally follows the shape and outline of the base portion; the upper surface of the arm rest is curved slightly outwards along its length; the support portion of the arm rest extends downwards and rearwards away from the base portion and has a generally flat outer surface and smooth curved front, rear and inner surfaces; the flat outer surface has a generally rectangular slot therein with curved corners, the slot being situated close to the base portion; the back rest has a base portion and a slightly raised area that is spaced inwards of the outer edges of the base portion and generally follows the shape and outline of the base portion; the raised area has small curved spaced-apart recesses along its side edges; the base portion has a laterally extending generally rectangular opening therein with slightly rounded corners; the raised area has a corresponding opening therein which is spaced outwards of the opening in the base portion and follows the shape of the opening in the base portion; the back rest has scalloped lower corners and scalloped areas along the sides which merge into a narrow upper section of the back rest; the head rest is generally symmetrical and has a base portion with rounded corners and a central concave area; the base portion has a raised area that is spaced inwards of the outer edges of the base portion and generally follows the outline of the base portion; the curvature of the concave front surface of the raised area is less than the curvature of the base portion; the base portion has a narrow flat outer edge which extends downwardly and outwardly along the sides of the head rest with elongated generally rectangular slots therein; a partial circular member extends outwards from each slot with the outer edge of the partial circular member being knurled; a curved member extends rearwards from the rear surface of the base portion and merges into slots in the sides of a generally cylindrical member having generally flat end surfaces and a wide opening in the front side surface thereof; a support member extends downwards and forwards from the lower surface of the generally cylindrical member and has a curved outer surface with a flat recessed area therein which extends the height of the support member.The second variant of the chair has a back rest which is wider and shorter than the back rest of the first variant.Representations of the design are shown in the figures wherein:Fig. 1. I is a front left perspective view of a first variant of the design of a chair;Fig. 1.2 is a front elevation view thereof;Fig. 1.3 is a rear elevation view thereof;Fig. 1.4 is a right side elevation view thereof;Fig. 1.5 is a left side elevation view thereof,Fig. 1.6 is a top plan view thereof, andFig. 1.7 is a bottom view thereof.Fig. 2.1 is a front left perspective view of a second variant of the chair;Fig. 2.2 is a front elevation view thereof;Fig. 2.3 is a rear elevation view thereof;Fig. 2.4 is a right side elevation view thereof,Fig. 2.5 is a left side elevation view thereof,Fig. 2.6 is a top plan view thereof, andFig. 2.7 is a bottom view thereof.Diagrams of the design are included.
